Chapter 631

This Bai Qi is not stupid, but unfortunately, if fate were so easy to break free from, it wouldn't be called fate.

Half an hour later.

Bai Qi arrived at the Qin King's palace.

Ever since the Battle of Yique, where he crushed the Wei-Han allied forces, beheaded two hundred and forty thousand, and cleared the path for the Qin army's eastward advance, Bai Qi had been promoted exceptionally to National Lieutenant, and his official rank had reached Great Liangzao.

Later, in the twenty-ninth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, he launched a major campaign against Chu, captured the Chu capital Yingcheng, and occupied a large area of Chu territory, after which Bai Qi transformed and became Lord Wu'an.

Now, what awaited him was the turning point of Bai Qi's life: the Battle of Changping.

This battle concerned the foundation of whether the Qin State could sweep away the Six States.

If the Qin State could take Changping from the Zhao State with minimal casualties,

then, facing a Zhao State that had lost Changping, the Qin State would be like a tiger with wings, entering the Zhao capital as if entering an empty land.

Taking the military tally from Ying Ji's hands, Bai Qi's expression was cold and stern.

This Battle of Changping was no longer just a struggle between the Qin State and the Zhao State.

In Bai Qi's heart, Changping had also become the chessboard for his game with Su Chen.

He wanted to let Su Chen know that no one could predict the fate of him, Bai Qi.

"Leading the army this time, your subject will definitely break Changping!"

Bai Qi said solemnly, then bowed and left the Qin King's palace.

The Great Qin army set off in a mighty force toward Changping of the Zhao State.

This expedition poured in all of the Qin State's elite.

Apart from the Imperial Guards guarding the capital, two other armies followed the expedition, led respectively by Zuo Geng and Sima Fang.

On the battlefield, banners fluttered.

Bai Qi stood on the chariot, his Qin saber propped on the ground, his tiger-like eyes gazing into the distance.

As far as the eye could see, it was an endless, dense black mass.

On the Zhao side, the defending general in Changping city was withdrawn and replaced by the young general Zhao Zhu.

Forty thousand Zhao troops against fifty thousand Qin elite.

This was almost a certain death situation.

Only by having a younger general with more drive could there be a slim possibility of scattering the Qin army and exhausting the Qin army's strength.

It could be said that from the moment Zhao Zhu arrived at Changping, everyone in Changping city had already become a discarded pawn of the Zhao State.

The meaning of them all dying in Changping was to ensure the Qin State had no strength to strike directly at the Zhao capital.

And to give the other five states an opportunity to take advantage of the Qin State's heavy losses to send troops north and destroy the Qin State.

The war began. ===== CHAPTER 633 =====
